It is possible tofinish the upper edge integral with. the hood 23 and in the shape of arim similar to that of the base'so as to'still further approximate theappearance of a spool.-. The

The needles are kept'in the needlepad 22. Allthe other sewing implementsmaybe as 5 sorted in thecompartments formed. between the partitions 1 1and 15. Of course, it is optional how the different compartments in thesewing-basket are utilized, but itvis readily seen that allthecompartments are easily accessible'when the hood is removed. I Itwill be recognized that'a-particularly compact sewi ng basket isprovided to accomplish the efiicient Y assortment of different. sewingimplef ments in separate compartments and to holdthe same securelycovered. when not in. use. The hood is so decoratedthat when it isplaced upon the base 5, the whole basket presents the appearance of alarge spool: 1
